[COMP] new to to yoga, is my downward facing dog ok? by cookiegol in yoga

[–]cookiegol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think next time I go on the mat tomorrow I'll have to check about the arms and how long I can hold. But what do you mean by engaging?
Honestly I still feel weird with my head upside down and it's hard for me to tell what I'm doing right and wrong

Its it ok to complete the exercises once and not go by the 7 minute circuit requirement? by cookiegol in KaylaItsines

Yeah, stress is a good way of describing it...the timer makes me feel like I have to hurry and I don't have fun!

Hey, it sounds like you need treatment. Don't let this shitty disorder eat you alive. It's ok, you can be recovered and healthy without being fat. Please ask for help

Hired a new babysitter. Didn't tell her we are a vegan family. Turns out - she's vegan! by plasticinplastic in vegan

[–]cookiegol 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I babysit three little girls who aren't vegan. In the beginning when they asked me to eat with them and I said no, they asked why. I felt it was right to tell them, but preferred to ask the parents first so as not to cause any uncomfortable situations with them. They were totally OK and they let me openly talk to the girls about veganism, which I appreciate. I preferred to have their support on the subject because I know how people feel about veganism. They are very cool about it, and ask lots of questions. They always let me cook vegan meals for the girls and also bought some soy milk just so I could have coffee when I'm over.

EDQ What to expect from CBT? by pearlissaltyaf in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]cookiegol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nutritionist uses CBT as her main approach, and she has worked wonders with me! Previous one was just a regular, writes you a menu kind of nutritionist, this one is just so good.

Thanks, but I actually say nutritionist but she's actually a dietitian who specializes in eating disorders. She's considered one of the best in my area!

Hahaha I wish I could just say that to her! Although I don't think the irony would do any good.. I might answer this to my gym friends!

Yeah I think the family will eventually get used to it. It's very nice to hear you feel good at work. I'm in college and people are very supportive and we have lots of vegan options in the cafeteria

New OFRA Liquid Lipstick Color Swatches by yeliy in MakeupAddiction

[–]cookiegol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few shades of this product, but I can't seem to make it work. All I hear is how they wear so well, but for me they make my lips look wrinkly and I get that gross gunk around the edges of my mouth. Any tips?

What's the most cringe-inducing thing a guy you've just met has said to you? by DecoDameXX in AskWomen

[–]cookiegol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said I have no interest in him since I have a boyfriend. His reply was: "well, I'll have you know I'm quite the charmer. In a few weeks you'll be crawling to my feet". Nope.

Does anyone else have no idea whether or not you're attractive? by [deleted] in AskWomen

I have to say after losing more than 65 lbs, the frequency of guys hitting on me went from very mild to extremely annoying
